Baby crib turned front porch daybed.

A few months ago my two littlest decided to start climbing out of their cribs. So much to my liking they were put into big girl beds and ever since then bedtime and naptime has not been the same. I tell ya there is one big ole party happening up there two times a day. Oh those two little girls can be naughty! Anyways, I was left with two cribs and had no idea what to do with them until I saw this post. It gave me the inspiration to put one of the cribs onto the front porch.
Basically all I did was convert the crib to a daybed and then sawed off the legs about 8". The normal height looked a little too high and cribish for me, plus it is a better height for the kids to climb up on. I made a few pillows and used a few that I already had. The green pillowcase was something I found for $1 at the thrift store the other day. It was a sham for a square pillow, so I just ended up sewing it to fit a regular sized pillow instead.
I found this green fabric for another steal...3 1/2 yards for just $6. I used it to make a fitted cover for the mattress and to cover a body pillow that is being used as a cushion for the back.
It was one of those projects that took no time at all to do, but has been a great addition to the porch. I think it took me longer to sweep the front porch clean then what it did to make this. Unfortunately it took the kiddos even less time to spread all of those leaves onto my newly swept floor.
The kiddos love it just as much as I do.
And I love that I have a way of keeping my first baby's crib. Some things I have a hard time parting with and this was one of those. I mean, it still has his little baby teeth marks in it. How do you throw something like that away?
